Mine Explosion Kills Three Hundred

A terrible explosion of gas in a mine at Ysovo, European Russia, July 2, resulted in the death of about three hundred miners, two hundred fourteen of whom were recovered and buried July 3. The injured men who were rescued were frightfully mutilated and many of them died in the hospitals. Six of the rescuers were suffocated. Troops were called to protect the mine and to control the five thousand miners gathered about the head of the shaft.
